So many
times once ceramic tile has been removed, thinset removal is
still required. Why? Because nearly all of today's
thinset is latex modified. The more recent the tile
installation the more likely the installers would have used
latex modified thinset. Compounding this problem are
companies' charging to remove tile only to leave the thinset
behind, so this is not truly a complete tear out.
Homeowners are often so inexperienced as to what is required,
they won't know the difference between a correct tear out and
one that cut corners.

We have
been called numerous times to remove the thinset after the so
called "tile removal" company collected their money and left the
thinset on the concrete. These sad homeowners find out
soon after that until the thinset has been completely removed,
wood, laminate, or other flooring cannot be properly installed.
These homeowners often end up paying double the cost because of
their inexperience. They trusted those
companies to provide a complete and honest tear out.

This is
where we come in! Our video clearly demonstrate our
process of thinset removal so there is no confusion. We
want everyone to know that our method is the least expensive in
the long run and you will not end up paying double for a service
that cut corners. If getting other quotes, especially from
bargain sources such as Craigslist you will not find anyone with
this type of equipment offering tile removal or thinset removal.
Those super low quotes are not really a good value since you are
left with a home so completely dusty, dirty and usually without
exception the
thinset still stuck to the floors. "It really does cost
less to do it right the first time."

If you are
already living in your home then making a wrong choice in
thinset removal companies can cost you dearly. The
potential for dust should not be taken lightly. Opening a
door or windows won't work and within seconds your entire
home can be filled with concrete dust that migrates everyplace.
Cleaning becomes a nightmare and any "good deal" that you may
have gotten is overshadowed by the work and cost involved with
the clean-up process. So when considering having this
service done in your home look at more than just the price.
Ask these companies' questions like:

Will you be using a standard shop-vac such as those
purchased at Home Depot, Lowes, Sears, Target, etc.?

Will you be using a air chisel, electric demolition hammer,
or some other piece of equipment that involves striking the
floor or thinset?

Do you have grinders that lack proper dust control features?

If you get
any "YES" answers you probably are in for a very bad experience.
You see, any standard type of shop-vac filter will clog in about
2 minutes pushing dust into the air. Air chisels and other
devices that strike the floor or thinset pulverize the thinset
into dust that very quickly will fill a room. Grinders
without dust control features are the worst culprits at creating
a dusty mess.

We
have all the best equipment available to make sure none of this
happens to your home or its' contents. For air filtration
and thinset removal dust we use the PB-1250 industrial vacuum. This
vacuum alone costs nearly $4000.00! It takes on the dirtiest
environments without ever clogging the filters.

The patented filtration
system is able to maintain lift and suction from start to
finish. Unlike today's standard "shop vac," which begins to
lose suction once the filter becomes faced with debris (which is
about 2 minutes of grinding), CDCLarue Pulse-Bac vacuums
automatically and continually flushes dust and debris off the
filter, preventing them from becoming faced with debris and
clogging. Pulse-Bac Technology works by flushing the
filters clear every 15 seconds using only ambient air and
vacuum, no blowers, compressors, shakers, or buttons to push.
This way there is absolutely no down time, which means the
thinset removal process is completed quicker, and is less costly.

So how does this vacuum
benefit you as a homeowner?

Your home will stay
much cleaner using our equipment, than with the typical
equipment being used by competitors. The more furnishings,
pictures, drapes, shutters, windows, artwork, cabinets, etc.
you have, the cleaner they stay. Nearly all our competitors
use inefficient grinders, and usually with no dust
collection equipment. They cost more because they aren't
efficient, and they also leave a swath of dust that will
fill every inch of your home. This is a horrible experience
no homeowner should ever to live through!

We also have this
equipment in our arsenal of thinset removal equipment. The is
the Edco 10" Turbo Grinder We use this in conjunction with
the PB-1250 for thinset removal.
With this combination, we can remove thinset 20 times quicker
than someone using an air chisel or demolition hammer, not to
mention how clean this process turns out to be. If you
haven't already, please watch the video above to see a
demonstration.
